I delayed opening just a little bit for clouds. I adjusted the focus zeropoint for the telescope, but it didn't take effect until the instrument change to echelle in the middle of the night. So starting with the echelle focus, expect a change in values. ------- FAILURE LOG ------- PROG INST FAILURE MODE TIME (SEDFNVOG) TI/SHU START FINISH DESCRIPTION ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- FOCUS LOG --------------- Time Instrument Focus Az El Temp Strc Prim Sec Air filt FWHM -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 20:36 dcamera 639( 946) 61 63 13.1 15.7 15.8 15.6 15.1 - 1.25 01:20 ecamera 452( -105) 131 52 11.1 11.5 12.1 11.4 11.2 Clr 1.32 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 62 23 12 232 (SW) 1453 mstly cldy none 17:00 65 23 13 201 (SSW) 1411 mstly cldy none 18:00 61 22 21 226 (SW) 1375 mstly cldy none 19:00 58 20 17 244 (WSW) 1382 mstly cldy none 20:00 56 18 11 231 (SW) 1242 mstly cldy none 21:00 55 16 6 264 (W) 1263 ptly cldy none 22:00 56 17 7 260 (W) 1351 ptly cldy none 23:00 57 15 6 262 (W) 1351 ptly cldy none 00:00 56 14 11 267 (W) 1630 mstly clr none 01:00 53 13 12 283 (WNW) 1167 mstly clr none 02:00 51 11 9 307 (NW) 1255 mstly clr none 03:00 50 12 11 316 (NW) 1240 ptly cldy none 04:00 51 11 6 338 (NNW) 1156 ptly cldy none 05:00 50 11 6 342 (NNW) 1187 ptly cldy none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
